Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for determining connectionless location identification information of devices within a server system. A Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) Controller within the server system transmits a location request to a RFID Sensor. The RFID Sensor identifies devices in the server system and returns signal strength and location information of the devices to the Embedded Controller. The Embedded Controller calculates its own current location. Signal strength information is interpreted by the Embedded Controller to calculate location information. After calculating its own current location, the Embedded Controller locally stores the current location. The location information is subsequently transmitted to a Support element. The Support Element calculates a fix IP address for the Embedded Controller based on the location information, and assigns the IP address to the Embedded Controller. The location information is used for later communication with that Embedded Controller.

Abstract: A processor unit for a data-processing-aided electronic control system in a motor vehicle, in which the processor unit operates in real-time and contains within its functional structure a scalable computing unit and a vehicle interface unit, as well as (preferably) a communication coprocessor as separate structural components.

Abstract: A data-processing-aided electronic control system having a multiple control unit arrangement which implements application functions and has several control units arranged in a distributed manner, along with a data transmission network which connects the control units to each other. The application functions are implemented in a client/server architecture in the multiple control unit arrangement. This permits the implementation of application functions in real time via a flexible, standardized and open system. With this changes and/or updates of application functions can be implemented at relatively low expenditures. The system is used, for example, as a control system in a motor vehicle.
